Things to Do

What is there to do at Grand Valley and in the West Michigan area?  There are a variety of activities depending on the time of year.  Lake Michigan, a popular summer destination, is just twenty minutes away from Grand Rapids where students can bask in the sun, play beach volleyball, and stroll down the shoreline.  Downtown Grand Rapids offers a multitude of restaurants, clubs, and bars - and there are plenty of locations for concerts.  The autumn season provides the area with plenty of apple orchards, where students can pick apples and enjoy fresh cider.  For those brave enough to venture outside during west Michigan's winter months, there are local tubing, skiing, snowboarding, and sledding locations.  Rosa Park's Circle in downtown Grand Rapids is a trendy place to ice-skate, and GVSU students can snowshoe on campus.
